ICE agents at the behest of the Donald Trump administration executed Veterans’ Administration ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We cannot stand for the murder of our people in the streets by the government!

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I agree with @urocklive1.bsky.social. I also am a long-term sufferer. I would recommend if you have these over the long term, to find a headache specialist. That would be a neurologist who has done a fellowship in headache medicine. They then specialize in treating only headaches.

P.S. the Nurtec would be “prophylactic” if your insurance would not pay for both. Your doctor might suggest taking it every other day or something like that.

These also can be taken in conjunction with Nurtec if your insurance will cover them both simultaneously. Your doctor needs to write for them together as one abortive and one prophylactic.

If you’re seeing this, congrats! You didn’t make the "Rapture" cut either. Looks like it’s just us running Earth’s after-party. I’ll be turning the Rapture leftovers into existential dread and questionable memes.

And in the back of my mind, I hear my conscience call …”

I don’t know much about LL Cool J’s stance on issues, but it’s act of conscience to stand with labor … esp when so many others are not.
